Two-time alternate captain Garrett Mitchell has signed a two-year pact to remain in Chocolatetown, Bears team president and general manager Doug Yingst announced Tuesday.

Mitchell, a 23-year old forward, recorded four goals and four assists over this past regular season, before tallying three points in 10 Calder Cup playoff games. The Saskatchewan native has played all 224 of regular-season AHL games in chocolate and white. He was selected by the Washington Capitals in the sixth round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

Mitchell served as team captain in 2010-11, one year after Hershey's last Calder Cup. He was named an alternate captain for the past two campaigns. The Bears returned to the postseason in 2015 after a one-year hiatus and fell in the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Hartford Wolf Pack.
